The Baltic song festivals (Estonian: laulupidu, Latvian: dziesmu svētki, Lithuanian: dainų šventė) are traditional amateur song and dance festivals in the Baltic States included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

The first song festival was held in Zürich, Switzerland in June 1843.

Lastly, tradition came to the Lithuania (Lithuanian Song Festival) in 1924.

During the Soviet era, the festivals were a subtle political protest against communism.
